Imco SCX on Howard Sport Deck

[236eaglexp]

Are there any Howard sport deck owners who have done a full scx upper and lower? I can find results of scx upper/sc lower, but am looking for results/experience using the 1400 scx lower.

Would also be interested in results from other single engine cat/deck boats.

IMCO has a 3rd design for the lower case on the SCX drive , it's more streamlined and hydro-dynamic , it's supposed to net you only a small loss in top end . I have the 2nd design , and I've lost about 5 mph up top . But I don't worry about blowing up a Bravo based drive anymore .

My dad "underpressure" has a scx upper and lower on a 29ft nordic deck. This is mated to a blown 540. He has had good results. Perhaps he will post up. He went the scx after breaking a bravo xr and a imco sc. He is also spinning a 30p 5 blade. He may have lost 1-3 mph on the top end but who cares when your not breaking drives.

Is the 1400 the newest lower?

I think the scx drives are -2" compared to an xr. Did you space the scx back down? If so what size spacer did you end up with?

No spacer...I think that you can get the SCX in several configs.....
